Strengthen cyber resilience - tips for CISOs

As digitalization grows, cyber threats also grow. Chief information security officers (CISOs) must regularly adapt their strategies. AI-driven threat defense is a strategy. As the digital landscape expands, so do the dimensions of the risks. Traditional cybersecurity concepts that once sufficed have been made obsolete by the relentless and ever-evolving nature of cyber threats. Therefore, the CISO's strategy must adapt and transform from a static set of rules into a flexible manual. From redesigning prevention strategies to strengthening defense measures to promoting resilience as a central part of...

Malware scripts indelibly hidden in blockchain

Attackers first hid malware and malicious scripts as a data source on Cloudflare. When Cloudflare reacted and wanted to delete the data, the attackers came up with a new idea: they hid them disguised as cryptocurrency transactions (smart contract) in the immutable Binance Smart Chain (BSC) blockchain. With the so-called ClearFake, website visitors receive a message that their browser is out of date and needs to be updated. If the visitor clicks on the link, malware files are automatically reloaded from a compromised Cloudflare worker host. So much for the known chain of attacks. “EtherHiding” – undeletable malware in blockchain But as…

Data strategy: Don’t forget the archive

The archive is an important component in the data strategy and makes a decisive contribution to the long-term and compliant storage of data. Companies should archive their data for a variety of reasons. Companies today rely on agile and intelligent use of data. But data that is not required in daily business or that must be stored securely and unchangeably for legal reasons belongs in an archive. And since an archive that can be managed well in the long term and is legally compliant must meet certain basic requirements, a simple file share is not enough. Why archive? There are various reasons why companies...

FBI takes action against North Korean IT freelancers

FBI: North Korea sends many IT employees and developers to China and Russia to work for Western companies and use the money to finance the North Korean missile program. North Koreans also offer their services via freelance platforms, but use IP spoofing to disguise where they really come from. The FBI warns and takes action against registered domains and networks. Due to the shortage of skilled workers, many companies are increasingly relying on unknown IT freelancers who work remotely. As the FBI has discovered, American companies in particular often use IT freelancers from Russia, China and other Asian countries. Many people don't realize that they...
